If European countries & other signatories to the International Criminal Court have any self-respect, they'd sanction Rubio & Trump for obstructing investigations of Netanyahu's war crimes.

@MarkKersten It's honestly frightening, but designating it as a terrorist organization will only undermine the institution of "terrorist designation" and make all the arbitrary designations the US has made seem less credible.
โญ๏ธ The Trump administration is preparing sweeping sanctions on the International Criminal Court in defense of indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu
โช๏ธ The sanctions would forbid most transactions with the ICC after a 6 to 7 month grace period, potentially cutting the court off from the US dollar and much of the global financial system, according to the Wall Street Journal.
โช๏ธ A final decision could come as soon as this week, during the UN General Assembly meeting, officials said.
โช๏ธ The US has already sanctioned several ICC officials, including former Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan, court president Tomoko Akane, and the lead prosecutor in the Netanyahu case; the new measures would target the institution's transactions broadly rather than individual officials.
โช๏ธ Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in July the administration would dismantle the court "brick by brickโ.
โช๏ธ In 2024, the ICC issued warrants for Netanyahu and then-Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, accusing them of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Gaza, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare, murder, persecution, and other inhumane acts.
John Mearsheimer explains how between 1971-2021, the U.S. killed 38 million people with sanctions. This does not include the millions killed by U.S. bombs.
So Hasan is correct: U.S. state terror makes Al Qaeda look like petty criminals by comparison
@MikeNellis I thought sitting Democrats not listening to the needs of American people, doing things against their will and voting for things noone supports does disservice to the candidates up for election, but apparently it's some Twitch streamer with few% nationwide recognition.
@CerebrumHarvest@bloomjpg You know nothing about history, you just repeat very silly hasbara talking points. And you can't give something that isn't yours.
@GilletteStadium Did he donate or not? This statement does not say he did. And what organizations? Coz we already know lots of them were funnelling the funds to further illegal West Bank settlements.
Ed Sheeran should have consulted Palestine Legal before standing on the wrong side of history.
โI find it highly unlikely that the stadium owner retained an eleventh-hour power to veto tour openers expressing support for Palestinians,โ our litigation director told Al Jazeera.
For generations, Washington has overthrown governments, sponsored coups, armed death squads, assassinated political leaders, manipulated elections and plunged entire nations into war whenever they stood in the way of American geopolitical interests.
Academic research documents 70 U.S.-backed regime-change attempts during the Cold War alone, and that narrow figure excludes much of the wider history of invasions, proxy wars, election interference and other interventions.
Millions of ordinary people have been forced to live with the consequences of decisions made thousands of miles away in Washington.
And after more than a century of overthrowing governments around the world, the United States still has the audacity to lecture everyone else about sovereignty, democracy and the โrules-based international order.โ
@DaniMayakovski We sure don't need to regulate any business. ๐คก That's how every other nation would look like under libertarianism, neoliberalism or laissez-faire capitalism.
Bill Maher never learns because he was never curious. His worldview and the propaganda he pushes are themselves driven by the very same degrading ideology he accuses other groups of being motivated by.
after 9/11 during the "War on Terror" hysteria genocidal Zionist Bill Maher was doing this typical ranting against Muslims and blaming Islam for every evil in the world. Glenn Greenwald was on the panel and destroyed and humiliated him repeatedly, and he never had him on again
